"Frauenkirche Esslingen Burg Stadtkirche" which can be translated to Esslingen Castle city Church of Our Lady [https://translate.google.com/#auto/en/Frauenkirche%20Esslingen%20Burg%20Stadtkirche; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dresden_Frauenkirche] "Esslingen was occupied by U.S. soldiers in April 1945, towards the end of World War II. During the war the city suffered very little damage, thus the medieval character of its city centre has been mostly preserved. After the Second World War about 47,000 people moved to Esslingen, mostly refugees and displaced persons from East Germany. Housing developments in Oberesslingen and Zollberg were created to overcome the shortage of housing." [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esslingen_am_Neckar] |
